Topic: 2019 ATP Year-End Top 10

Hey everyone! Question for the Offseason, what do you think the ATP Top-10 look like at the end of the 2019 season? Figured this should be fun to look back at in a year. A lot we don't know yet (Who breaks out, injuries, etc), but what would your predictions be right now (fully aware some of this will be wrong a year from now)

Re: 2019 ATP Year-End Top 10

I am not sure if Delpo will be able to compete at the higjest level. I almost put murray in there as he could climb back the rankings pretty fast. Tsitsipas could also get in there. And who knowsy maybe Stan will be back in the top10??

Next Gen moving up..!!! If Murray cannot fully recover I will go with Anderson at 10...

I find it interesting which Next Gen players you're going on all in on Murreee. You're higher on Tsitsipas and particularly Shapovalov than I am (plus Kyrgios), while I am going more towards Khachanov, Medvedev and Coric. Curious what made you put those two ahead of the pack. I'm higher on Tsitsipas but Shapovalov's lack of a return game worries me

I agree with Adunar that Del Porto is a risk. Hoping the back injury he suffered in Shanghai doesn't linger. I kept him since his level was so good in 2018 but it's entirely possible that he could drop out if he has issues staying healthy next year

IDK about Coric and consistency. The whole I'll Beat Feddy In Halle followed by Losing In The First Round of Wimbledon thing has be spooked on him. Feeling like another Dimitrov, where you just don't know when he'll start to struggle.

But IDK, I also just don't LIKE Coric, so there's that to consider. Generally the players that I don't like are the ones who perform better in the long term. Maybe I'm imagining that.

Nice post Guru Marco!...Nice to see your moniker's are up too to celebrate your great year in 2018.

I think only Isner and maybe Kei will drop out of the 10 by the end of 2019, so which one or two players will come in...Khach and/or Tsitsi seem the most likely I think, but let's not forget about Milos and Grigor just yet, 2019 could be the year that the changing of the guard starts, then again it might be more the same on the ATP tour, who knows. (De Minaur is my long shot at the 10)

I'm assuming everyone will have a reasonably healthy year of course, I hope Fed can stay in the Top 5, however if he has a poor AO then all of us Fed fans will be worried...I hope Delpo plans his schedule well too so he can be a contender again.

I'm worried Del Potro is missing Australia. Never a good sign to start the year. De Minaur interests me, I love his game style and think he's really fun to watch, just worry about the lack of offensive weapons (although speed is still a weapon IMO)

Here we go Murreee! Looking forward to competing against you again this year! Also as I type this, we're currently tied for 1st in Yoda Cup. A lot of Yoda Cup to be played but good to see you've picked up where you left off in 2018
